Copy and Paste

A way to copy object/objects into clipboard. Can paste into the same scene which will duplicate objects with conflicting UIDs. Can also paste into other shots.

Ripple

When working with multiple shots / boards in a shot, it's difficult to keep the scene consistent. For example, if you add a tree in one shot, you might want to add it to all other shots in that scene. Currently, there's no way to do that.

Ripple will take a selected object, and copy it and its properties to other shots in your storyboarder file.

• Options
  • Ripple to shot - Just ripple to the boards in the specific shot you're in.
  • Ripple to all boards - Ripple to every board in the storyboarder file.

Example, let's say you are editing a b frame. You accidentally moved the camera, and you can't undo. You could fix the camera the way you want it and ripple it to shot - which would update the camera settings for the other boards in the shot.
